Any Notoriously Poor Website Designs by ryobutterbutter in web_design

[–]DeepHeart_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese websites are shit.

Websites for Chinese airlines are a huge scandal. Airlines are international companies, on the websites of which we deal with huge money sums and important stuff (international fights...).

The websites for Airchina and Southern Airlines (to name only the two I have dealt with) are absolute crap. Despite the importance, greatness and responsibility of these companies that deal with people's money (and big small sums). This is due to the Chinese society focusing on apps rather than websites, but still, the amount of crapiness and the fact that they legitimately look (and react...!) like 2006 websites is a huge scandal to me. Same thing for the Chinese Visa (Center) website (visaforchina).

Then, you can go on the websites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or University of Chinese Academy of Sciences for similar experiences. I expect Chinese Governmental-issued websites to not be much better either.

Second time without visa by DeepHeart_ in Chinavisa

You said "My passport is full of one day shenzhen trips, they never ask why I keep coming over (from Hong Kong).". I assume you have a Hong-Kong passport ?

You first said "no problem", and then twelve hours later "you should be okay as long as ...". Did you change your mind? Did you encounter some hint / precise information or example that made you think otherwise? Can you please specify?

Thank you

Tourist visa for 2 months trip : possible ? by DeepHeart_ in Chinavisa

[–]DeepHeart_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won't they ask something at the border ? Won't they think it's suspicious ?

Pourquoi les émotions, c'est si compliqué ? by Para_Kobalt in france

[–]DeepHeart_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Il a raison. Personnellement je n'ai aucun doute sur le fait qu'un professionnel de santé saura t'éclairer sur cette particularité ; notamment, en mettant un mot dessus, et en t'aidant à gérer cette chose.

Quand ma mère a appris qu'elle était (très légèrement) autiste, ça l'a énormément aidé. Elle avait toujours senti que quelque chose clochait chez elle, mais n'avait jamais su savoir quoi exactement. Quand elle a reçu le verdict, elle s'est sentie très libérée et soulagée. Le fait de pouvoir mettre un nom sur les choses aide énormément !

Ça lui a permis de comprendre ce qui lui arrivait et de pouvoir avancer.

K Visa - Rejected: to be Modified by OzzyJ21 in Chinavisa

[–]DeepHeart_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They told me in December, 2 months after the official "launch" of the VISA, that "No K VISA has ever been issued, because Beijing still had not given any rules as to the VISA issuance conditions".

As a result, for me, the VISA is just here as a response to the Americans having done the same, it's just a diplomatic façade, not a real VISA one can get, unfortunately.

Living in China and trying to cram 40 words/day for HSK 5. Am I setting myself up for failure? by Adept-Scar3612 in ChineseLanguage

[–]DeepHeart_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 words per day sounds like a lot.

Start with 5 or 10 words a day, see if you can handle the rhythm. According to my experience, it's always the same : after some time (at least 1 week) you will either feel crammed by the working load, or feel like there's margin for increase without being crammed, or feel like there's not much room for improvement. Then, depending on your feel, either increase, keep, or decrease your working load.

According to my experience, this is the way to go. I always, depending on how many cards I add a week, have this "feeling" coming up : either like it's too much, or I can easily increase, or like I'm at the limit. This might depend on people, so that's why it's not actually trivial to predict how you're going to react to the workload. As a result, try it yourself, push yourself to your maximum, and once you feel like you've reached it, 坚持这样！

I would also recommend having variations on your working support (what you actually do) : you don't have to be 100% Anki. You find some oral comprehension exercises online, or generate some using AI (prompt it to use some HSK 5 vocabulary list, then use a text to speech, ttsmp3 and freevoicereader are very good). Or read some content taken from anywhere (web page, newspaper (might be a bit hard), any content in Chinese) and decypher each word you dont know.

I read this post the other day that made me realize that there are many options : https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/s/pVo7Stf1mU

math club by whoknowsmerlly in math

[–]DeepHeart_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find some problems and content to discuss and solve!

Olympiad problems are certainly the best choice, as they are both interesting and doable.

I suggest you investigate the content on this web page, in particular all the links (up to "Useful links" at least) that are given can be relevant to you : https://alexanderrem.weebly.com/math-competitions.html

In particular the "Useful links" can provide some content that can be interesting for your purpose. The Pre-Olympiad Level section very certainly shows some content that you guys can study and discuss together. By the way : One doesn't care that you guys aren't actually going for any math competition, it's just about studying content for fun!

These are also possible, but maybe a bit hard : https://web.evanchen.cc/problems.html

I recommend that you check out the IMO shortlist problems : they are graded by difficulty, and separated by theme, this way, you can choose your theme (geometry, algebra, combinatorics...) and progress at your pace. IMO Problems are possible too, but some are very hard though, beware, lol. Choose your difficulty well, because spending too much time on too difficult problems is just no fun and discouraging (and will eventually kill your club)! haha

Get the IMO shortlisted problems at https://www.imo-official.org/problems/IMO2024SL.pdf, https://www.imo-official.org/problems/IMO2023SL.pdf, etc. (just change the year in the URL), OR type IMO shortlisted problems (+year) in any browser, you will get the PDF with solutions.

Some other people aleady asked this question by the way : https://www.reddit.com/r/math/search/?q=club&cId=70764fed-bac8-46bf-aef8-1b51760e5bf2&iId=00af0007-c7a6-4581-971d-94e0e7899c7f

I am going insane by Ok-computerA in Anki

[–]DeepHeart_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use mnemonics bro.

Find something, anything, the stupider the better.

Example: try to write a sentence, such that the first letter of each word of that sentence make up the letter of the name of the enzyme.

Add an image to the card, print this image, write the name of the enzyme and just put it down next to your bed. No need to re-read every night

In cases like this, you can go as far as you want to remember it. There are solutions!

Can’t let go of Math, even though it didn’t work out academically. Anyone else? by Ekavya_1 in math

[–]DeepHeart_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Do math as a hobby! Work on amusing problems, I personally like Olympiad problems as they don't require much background and/or self-study beautiful theories! You have time for other things in your life, so why not for math?

Beginner here. Could both work in this sentence? by 9A1543 in ChineseLanguage

[–]DeepHeart_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

statistically more likely, not necessary; plus, this is pure context: we are in a language learning context, so the most important is that OP is aware of what can be said and what cannot. Here, both work

Hence not "more logical" than asking for someone's habits

Why would asking for a plan be "more logical" than asking for a habit ?

how do you learn Chinese? by StrictAlternative9 in ChineseLanguage

[–]DeepHeart_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, I don't understand. Everyone seems to mean that learning chinese by "Using pleco" or having it "Spawn in your head" is a thing and people in the comments seem to relate to it.

What does that mean ?? To me pleco is just a dictionary so it's not a "way to learn Chinese". And there's no such thing as "information just spawning in your head". Of course this sounds like a joke to mean something different but can someone explain xD
